CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

Here's another easy little cha cha.  It basically teaches

1/4 turn cha cha steps  but it does have cross rock cha chas

and also a 1/4 turn pivot. It's a good teaching dance.

I chose this piece of music because of it's tempo. It gives you time to think about what you are doing,  but it still has a distinct beat which is easy to follow.

And the name of the dance?   Well, the  words to the song say 'I Hear You Knocking But You Can't Come In'.  When I was a youngun the worst thing you could tell someone was  P.O.Q.  Seems pretty tame by today's standards doesn't it.

. If you don't know what P.O.Q. stands for you must be too young - so go ask your Mum, and if SHE doesn't know then you better ask your GRANDMOTHER!

See you on the floor sometime.....  Jan
